Live comments

  • 0' - It’s Showtime! The match between Japan and Costa Rica is underway.
  • 5' - Costa Rica looks like a favorite considering 1 games won in last 1 matches with its main striker Keysher Fuller scoring 1 goals.
  • 10' - The travelling Costa Rica supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 15' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Japan that had 79 games and scored 18 goals.
  • 20' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Yeltsin Tejeda suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' - Japan seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
  • 30' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 35' - Both teams are passing the ball around with high level of urgency. Japan needs to do something about it to get closer to the goal.
  • 40' - While players are taking a pause, let’s have a look at their stats. The teams met 1 times this season with Costa Rica winning 100% of all matches.
  • 41' - Anthony Contreras was booked on 41.
  • 42' - The referee shows Costa Rica player a Yellow card on 42.
  • 44' - Miki Yamane was booked on 44.
  • 46' - Japan manager makes another effort to make the tables turned. Takuma Asano is hanging Ayase Ueda on the field on 46 minute.
  • 51' - It looks like no one’s ball. Costa Rica is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 56' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
  • 61' - Celso Borges is having his name booked by the referee on 61.
  • 62' - Costa Rica player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 62' - The supporters are chanting for Kaoru Mitoma. He replaces Miki Yamane on 62 minute.
  • 65' - Another substitution for Costa Rica to replace Gerson Torres by Brandon Aguilera on 65 minute.
  • 67' - Junya Ito has so much to prove this time. He replaces Ritsu Doan on 67 minute.
  • 70' - Costa Rica player sees a Yellow card in front of him.
  • 71' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Francisco Calvo on 71.
  • 76' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Keysher Fuller, as he is very good at scoring at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 81' - Keysher Fuller puts Costa Rica on the lead.
  • 82' - Takumi Minamino is replacing Yuki Soma for the Japan side.
  • 84' - A meaty challenge results in booking for Ko Itakura on 84.
  • 89' - Another substitution for Costa Rica to replace Celso Borges by Youstin Salas on 89 minute.
  • 90' - It’s a booking for Japan player. Wataru Endo gets a Yellow card.
